Abstract
Summary: This paper is written about Canadarm. Canadarm represents a very sophisticated piece of aerospace engineering-eight years in the making and costing about $100 million ("Case Study: Canadarm and Canadarm2," n.d.). Fifteen meters in length and weighing 410 kg (making it unable to support itself in Earth gravity), the Canadarm boasts six joints-or what are called six degrees of freedom: two at the shoulder (yaw, pitch); one at the elbow (pitch); and three at the wrist (pitch, yaw, roll).

Five Modes of Transportation, 2002.
Examines the importance of cars, trains, airplanes, ships and pipelines to general day to day running of our lives.

Abstract
Imagine a world without automobiles, trains, airplanes, water transportation such as ships, or pipelines. Without these five different modes of transportation life would be different. These modes of transportation make life enjoyable as they make it possible to have the quality of life that most people enjoy. The economy of many countries can be tracked with the methods of transportations determining how wealthy a country may be. "The fact that transportation represents 3.3 percent of our national income understates the importance of that sector to our economy and our well-being" (Moore 2001). The role of transportation over the years and the costs of transportation play a vital role in the lives of people today.

Abstract
If there were a feminist novel, "Breath, Eyes, Memory" would truly be it. We see the troubled reality of oppression through the eyes of the character of Sophie, who makes us too well aware of the horrible crimes committed against women in Haitian society, crimes that have their legacy in the social construction of values that colonialism produced. At the same time, she is speaking up for women and clearly showing that they deserve a much better and fairer life.

Trends in Electronics, 2002.
Discusses the changes which have taken place in the electronic field and what the future holds for it.

Abstract
Changes in electronics are part of the constantly shifting nature of all industries toward faster, leaner, more efficient solutions. The future of electronics is much like the future of all technologies. The need to pack more into smaller cases is driving much of the innovation in electronics. But, one of the realities that the industry will be quickly facing is that they do not have the same room for growth as characterized the industry ten years ago. The fact is that chips are moving toward their logical limits in miniaturization, wires, while getting smaller, still have to take up space, which, when you include millions of transistors on, for example, an LCD screen, you hit a physical limit. Electronics continues to move in the three above-named directions: smaller footprint, faster conductivity and greater reliability of components. This paper will focus on the trends and future of electronics.

Ethics in Engineering, 2002.
Examines ethics and the duty of professional engineers to public needs.
1,650 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 7 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Articles 1 and 2 of "Code of Ethics" state that meeting "public needs" and "public welfare" is a duty of professional engineers. The Articles make a clear distinction between commitments to technical precision and moral or social duty. A number of sub-tenets of the Articles aim to ensure that an engineer conforms to the Articles. However, the "Code" is not legally enforceable and therefore can be breached. Additionally, commitment to the public welfare of an individual practitioner could be compromised due to externalities.

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed and in-depth explanation about the papermaking process. It explains the chemical process of how the materials are transformed from wood to paper pulp. A history of this practice is also discussed and and examination of how it has developed over history. The paper looks at the current big players in the market and includes many charts and tables.
From the Paper
"Papermaking originated in China in around 105 A.D. and its creation is generally attributed to a court official called Cai Lun. The first paper was made from a mixture of nonwood fibers, including mulberry bark. Knowledge of papermaking then spread to the Middle East through central Asia and reached Europe in the 12th century. From there, that knowledge later spread to North America and eventually to the rest of the world. A wide variety of fibers have been used to make paper, but in the years leading up to the 18th century, relatively large quantities were being made from linen rags. At that time, each individual sheet was made separately. The papermaker would dip a mesh known as a forming screen into a vat containing a solution of water and fiber (the stock). A sheet of paper would then be formed on the screen solely through the natural bonding of the fibers as the screen was lifted out of the water/fiber solution and drained. The sheet was then pressed and dried. Traditional papermakers in Japan and Taiwan, as well as papermaking craftspeople in other countries, still make paper using this time-honored process."

Heating Problems During Re-entry of Space Shuttles, 2003.
Analysis of space shuttle re-entries, focusing on the problems encountered by the Columbia.

Abstract
As the space shuttle Columbia began its re-entry into Earth?s atmosphere on February 1, 2003, it began to break up. While the exact cause of the shuttle break up is still being investigated, there are many theories being considered, many of which have to do with heating tiles under the shuttle. The paper examines the process of an air-shuttle's re-entry into the atmosphere and shows where things could have gone wrong with Columbia.
From the Paper
"In the final stage, the shuttle approaches the upper atmosphere and enters the ionization blackout. In the ionization blackout, hot ionized gases of the atmosphere surround the shuttle. This prevents radio communication with mission control for the about twelve minutes. At this point the shuttle is traveling at 17,000 mph. As the shuttle collides with air molecules, friction is generated which leads to surface temperatures of around 3000 F. The steep angle of re-entry ensures that most of the aerodynamic heating is directed towards the underside of the shuttle where the heat resistant tiles offer the greatest amount of protection. As the atmosphere thickens, the shuttle's thrusters are eventually switched off, at which point the shuttle?s aerodynamic flight features kick in, and it can be flown like an airplane."
